“Let your favor shine on your servant…” (Psalm 31:16a NLT).
The concealer has been applied. The foundation smeared on and smoothed out. A top-coat of pressed powder has been brushed on. Eyelids are highlighted, contoured and shaded. Mascara is plumping and separating. Blush has been carefully selected to highlight and accessorize my complexion. One more thing and I’ll be ready for the day…
God’s favor.
Yes, God’s touch is what makes all men and women stand out in a crowd. His favor is what leaves an impression. His presence, usually seen on the face, often seen in actions, hopefully heard in our words is what will beautify us beyond measure.
You’ve primped. You’ve curled, straightened, poufed and sprayed. You’ve ironed and selected. You’ve worked hard at presenting the very best you possible. Now? Now, sit a few moments in His presence. Open His Word. Spend a few minutes talking and then listen for His voice.
Aaah, there you have it! That glow. It just accentuates your beauty. His favor looks so good on you! Oh, the compliments you’re bound to receive.
